About the journal
|
The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity ( JAPA) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes original research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional application articles on the relationship between physical activity and the aging process. The journal encourages the submission of articles that can contribute to an understanding of (a) the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and social aspects of older adults and (b) the effect of advancing age or the aging process on physical activity among older adults.
In addition to publishing research reports and reviews, JAPA publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs among older adults. Articles from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as from fields such as medicine, clinical psychology, physical and recreational therapy, health, physical education, and recreation are appropriate for the journal.
JAPA consists of three peer-reviewed sections: Original Research, Scholarly Reviews, and Professional Applications. The Original Research section contains scientific studies and investigations, systematic clinical observations, and controlled case studies. The Scholarly Reviews section publishes reviews that synthesize research and practice on important issues in the study of physical activity and aging. Articles based on experience in working with older populations and the available scientific evidence that focus on program development, program activities, and application of exercise principles are appropriate for the Professional Applications section.
JAPA also includes an editorial section for exchange of viewpoints on key issues affecting physical activity and older adults, digests of important articles on exercise for older adults published in other journals, media reviews, and announcements of events important to the study of physical activity and aging.

Instructions to Authors
In preparing manuscripts for publication in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity, authors should adhere to the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition, 2001). Copies can be found in most university libraries or may be obtained through the APA Order Dept., P.O. Box 92984, Washington, DC 20090-2984 (www.apa.org/books). Tel: 800-374-2721.
All articles must be preceded by an abstract of 100-150 words. The manuscript must be double-spaced, including the abstract, references, and any block quotes. All art must be professionally prepared, with clean, crisp lines, and be camera-ready; freehand or typewritten lettering will not be accepted. PC-generated screens (i.e., dot patterns, or shades of gray) do not reproduce well during the printing process and should not be used to create shading in figures. Stripe patterns or solids (black and white) are better choices for shading. If figures were created electronically, submit the files for them, as well as hard copy. If photos are used, they should be black and white, clear, and show good contrast. Each figure and photo must be properly identified.
Submit your manuscript to JAPA Co-Editors; Division of Kinesiology & Health Promotion; California State University, Fullerton; 800 North State College; Fullerton, CA 92834, JAPA@fullerton.edu. If you cannot submit electronically, send four copies of your manuscript, including the original. Manuscripts must not be submitted to another journal at the same time. Authors are advised to check very carefully the typing of the final copy, particularly the accuracy of references, and to retain a duplicate copy to guard against loss. Authors of manuscripts accepted for publication must transfer copyright to Human Kinetics Publishers, Inc.
Manuscripts are read by at least three members of the editorial board, with the review process expected to take from 4 to 6 weeks. There are no page charges to contributors. Manuscripts are evaluated through blind review. Authors are requested to submit a cover sheet with each copy of the manuscript, including the title, name of author(s), institutional affiliation(s), running head, and full mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone and fax numbers of the author who is to receive the galley proofs. The first page of the manuscript should contain only the title of the article. Page 2 should contain the abstract, with the text beginning on page 3. Every effort should be made to see that the manuscript itself contains no clue to the author's identity.
All submissions should show evidence of good scholarship, judged by the explanation and rationale for the study, topical relevance and interest to the readership, the design and conduct of the project, and the presentation and discussion of results.
